About

Born in Southern California of South Korean descent, I was brought up in my family’s plush toy manufacturing business. I grew up designing my own toys and having the prototypes made, later traveling to factories to create full collections with my father for our clients.

I was then offered a full scholarship to attend Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles to study Apparel Design. During my studies, I started working in the Hollywood film and music industry as a design consultant, stylist, and illustrator.  After graduation, I moved to New York City to work with iconic American designers such as Narciso Rodriguez, John Varvatos and Calvin Klein.

Today, I am based in Paris, France working as the artistic director of Galeries Lafayette and creative consultant for brands such as Christian Dior and Samsung.
